Surely your Colombnian family could answer these questions?

Gabolicious, I have never eaten there. I know exactly where it is...Calle 122 con 17 or so, the restaurant itself is a bit old. They do have some tables outside and a little bar...Ive gotten a little tipsy there, never had any food. But just by the looks of it I would assume there are nicer italian restaurants in Bogota.

Man Tequila,

Obviously they can answer my question... but I don't want to ask them.. the reason? I want this to be a surprise.

Cerealkiller, thank you for your comments, any other recommendation? I want to take them to a good restaurant. The reason why I'm asking about the price is simply because I don't know if it's best to pay with Credit Card or cash. I know there is a restaurant up in Monserrate.What about that one?

Maybe you can help me with some guide as where to find colombian restaurants on the internet...

Thanks once again =P

Gabolicious, it depends on the kind of food they like. San Isidro (in Monserrate) is a wonderful restaurant. I dont know how expensive it is cause my parents always pay, the food is essentially french....Id reccomend it, it is certainly a wonderful place...do take them at night though to enjoy the view...

I guess I kind of figured that. Just maybe there was one person in the family who could be trusted to handle this discretely.

I regret I cannot answer your question.

I suggest you call the place. You already know they like the place, and the restaurants could make a reservation if needed and estimate costs.

Quite a few websites for Bogotá restaurants, many more if you search in Spanish.

The address I found in the Yellow Pages online differs from that of Cerealkiller. Might be ones with similar names, memory bug, flaw in the Yellow Pages, etc. Make sure it's the same place.

Is this downtown?

goin_south says on Jul 7, 2007, 14:32:

This is a somewhat related question, that I had a few weeks ago, and even one or two colombians I asked, really couldn't answer: DOES COLOMBIA HAVE THE EQUIVALENT OF 411 (USA) or, 'directory assistance' for calling to find a phone number for either a person or a business? And, if so... then what is it? What number(s) do you dial? Other?

Where do we go from here?

Dunno. Good Internet sites(?), though.

Gabolicious, I am not sure if youre fluent in Spanish but the most comprehensive restaurant and bars list IMO is Revista Eskpe.

You can also find good info on Guia del Ocio:

Man Tequila: Youre right, there is another one in Chapinero, that is just off the Avenida 7ma around the musical instruments area. I have seen it, there is a parking lot close to the place and everything, but that one also looks like a very old place...I dunno.

muchas gracias de nuevo, yo hablo español perfectamente, soy latino entonces no habrá barrera de lenguaje alguna... de verdad muchísimas gracias por la información... voy a revisar los sitios que me indican y aunque faltan un par de meses para ir a la linda Bogotá yo les cuento como me fué con lo de los restaurantes.

Un abrazo muy fuerte a ambos... GRACIAS!
